Experts Discuss Hormone Replacement Therapy and Menopause Challenges in Women Over 45

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is used to alleviate severe menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, mood changes, and sleep disturbances by replacing declining hormones. While concerns about cancer risks exist, recent research and personalized approaches have improved its safety and acceptance. Experts emphasize the importance of open discussions on menopause, highlighting its impact on women's health, productivity, and long-term risks like diabetes and osteoporosis, especially as women live longer and seek better quality of life post-45.
